Resources
Many women are concerned and outraged about the recent controversy surrounding Yaz birth control. And so they should be. The manufacturers of Yaz, Yasmin and Ocella birth control did not properly inform their customers about the serious health side effects involved in taking this fourth generation contraceptive. Some of the serious side effects from Yaz include stroke and blood clots. Both of these health concerns can lead to devastating consequences including permanent brain damage, loss of movement and, in some cases, even death.
One of the best ways you can protect yourself from Yaz stroke and other Yasmin health conditions is to be informed on the risks involved in taking this drug. Below we have listed some excellent medical resources for those wanting to learn more about Yaz birth control, stroke and additional health concerns.
